珍尼弗 温拿斯 Jennifer Warnes genre: Pop
release date 2018-05-25 publisher: BMG Rights Management (US) LLC
One of the most-loved singers of our time has returned with a modern-day masterpiece. Jennifer Warnes is back with a brand-new album called Another Time, Another Place, on BMG. The new album reunites Warnes with her co-producer and great friend and collaborator Roscoe Beck, the long-time musical director and bass player for Leonard Cohen. It's the same partnership that made the landmark 1987 album Famous Blue Raincoat. With glorious production and performances, and of course, impeccable vocals, Another Time, Another Place features the cream of the crop of songwriters including Eddie Vedder (‘Just Breathe’), Mark Knopfler (‘Why Worry’), John Legend, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks and more. Joining Warnes are brilliant musicians and friends such as Dean Parks (Steely Dan, Bob Dylan), pedal steel king Greg Liesz (k.d. lang, Eric Clapton) and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Sting). Jennifer Warnes has always been known as someone who makes beautifully crafted records with an open heart, unafraid to show emotion and love through her work. It's the perfect time for Another Time, Another Place.

Madeleine Peyroux genre: Jazz
release date 2009-03-10 publisher: Rounder / Umgd
近年来崛起流行音乐世界的年轻爵士歌手不少,玛黛琳·蓓荷本应该是最受瞩目的一位。生於美国乔治亚,却因为父母离异而随任职法语教师的母亲移居法国巴黎,蓓荷自小承受著法国艺术文化与美国乡村蓝调的双重洗礼,造就她不凡的艺术品味;蓓荷于1996年发行了她的各人第一张个人专辑"爵士天地(Dreamland)",舒缓、清柔的演唱风格,加上她近似爵士第一夫人比莉·哈乐黛(Billie Holiday)的纯情风格,令爵士乐评家为之惊艳。Time杂誌就提出了以下的评论:"如同比莉·哈乐黛,蓓荷有著同样的心碎中音,她极为聪敏的滑过音符与乐段之间,不经意中流泻深沉的情感...",这使得她虽有「比莉·哈乐黛接班人」之名,却完全自成一格,不让前辈专美於前。 玛黛琳绝美而略带伤感的嗓音,神韵与风格确实令人直接联想到比莉·哈乐黛。但是却不似比莉·哈乐黛那般沧桑和凄凉,反倒是玛黛琳在忧愁的曲调歌声中显现出一种成熟的安定感,格外容易引起共鸣,打动人心。 此外,特别会让发烧友注意的事情是,本专辑的母带后製部分是由录音大师 Bernie Grundman 亲自操刀。清楚的定位、温暖而通透的乐器伴奏,以及极佳的音质音色,这将是一张多年以后同时被发烧友和爵士迷称之为经典的人声专辑!
